Owhiro Bay Stream Planting

On Friday June 26th, Room 6 and 7 will be walking to Owhiro Bay to plant some trees. 1000 trees have been allocated by the WCC for students of Owhiro Bay School, St Bernards and Ridgway, as part of the ‘Love your Water programme’. All the students will be planting on that day, at different times. The event is being organised by Oliver Vetter from ‘Sustainable Coastlines’. There will be a presentation prior to the trip, based on clean water, the issues facing freshwater in NZ and riparian planting. Room 6 and 7 will be leaving school at 11.00 for the walk to Owhiro Bay. Everyone will have lunch at the planting site and return to school for the end of the day. Both classes are looking forward to the trip and are hoping for fine weather!
